    Anna's Corner

    Grab a coffee and settle into the outdoor seating at Anna's Corner. The weather is key here, as most of the comfy and romantic seating is outside. It is the perfect spot to watch the afternoon light shift before the main event.

    Entebbe Botanical Gardens

    Walk through the Entebbe Botanical Gardens. The gardens host stands of large trees in a park-like setting and a troop of vervet and colobus monkeys. Use this time to wander the paths and enjoy the greenery as the sun begins its descent toward the WNW.

    Waterfront Beach

    Head down to Waterfront Beach for the sunset. Located just a short walk south of the gardens, this spot offers a clear view of the sun dipping below the horizon over Lake Victoria.

    Entebbe Pier

    Stroll along the Entebbe Pier as the sky darkens. The marina provides a quiet place to end the evening, listening to the water and reflecting on the day.
